    Abstract:
    Osseointegration of dental implants is affected by osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was overcome the implant failure and facilitate the osseointegration of dental implants by c-myb in ovariectomized (OVX)-induced osteoporosis. c-myb is a transcription factor and supports bone formation. Plasmid DNA/c-myb conjugated with chitosan-gold nanoparticles (Ch-GNPs/c-myb) promoted osteogenesis and inhibited osteoclastogenesis in MC-3T3 E1 cells. Ch-GNPs/c-myb involved the reduction of the nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1, c-Fos, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated osteoclasts in receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) stimulated bone marrow macrophages. In vivo results of rat mandibles demonstrated Ch-GNP/c-myb-coated titanium (Ti) implants increased the volume and density of newly formed bone and the osseointegration of dental implant with bone by micro computed tomography examination after OVX-induced osteoporosis. Immunohistochemical analysis showed increased c-myb expression and upregulation of bone morphogenic proteins, osteoprotegerin and EphB4, as well as the downregulation of RANKL by Ch-GNP/c-myb-coated Ti implants. Hematoxylin and Eosin staining expressed new bone formation by Ch-GNP/c-myb-coated Ti implants. Our findings indicated that c-myb delivered by Ch-GNPs supports osseointegration of dental implant even in osteoporotic condition. c-myb may be applicable to support dental implant integration and treatment in age-dependent bone destruction disease.
